I bet Apple with have the 'courage' to use proprietary connectors inside the case to limit user upgrade options.

My god, NuBus. Daystar accelerator cards, radius graphics cards... Fun days of upgrading Mac that became outdated 1 year after you bought it.

Differential serial with embedded clock seems to be popular these days. How about SnuBus?

Don't get why you getting downvoted. The choice to pick an odd GPU connector internally wasn't justify over pci express.

Impossible to know since Apple rarely discusses those types of details to the public. They probably should talk about it more because otherwise people just speculate and the best reddit joke punchline is what people end up believing.

I bet this will be a milquetoast also-ran of a device, as one would expect from a company forced to say 'Yes' by its users.

Distinctive tool design is great, but only to the extent that it doesn't hamper its intended use as a tool. A company that only says 'No' to its users will end up running out of users, eventually. They'll buy the "milquetoast" that gets the job done.
